Initial OrganizUtion.-Abo 40
gentlemen attended the meeting in the
old Council chamber Monday evening,
called to consider the advisability of
organizing a club.
John Chambers was chosen tenn
porary chairman; Rev. A. C. Haver-

The object being stated in brief
terms, both by Mcssrs. Chambers and
Haverstick, some discussion was elicit
ed by a suggestion from Henry Jan
dorf that the formation of vigilance
committee was more important than
that of club.
1t was the opinion of the chair that
Mr.. Jandorf was out Of order, but the
latter hing with considerable tenacity
to his suggestion.
Mr.. Chambers poured some oil on
the troubled waters by accounting for
what he deemed Mr.. Jandorf's error
two notices, posted closely-one for
this meeting as initial to the formation
of literary and recreation association
the other for the formation of vigil
ance committeeman doubtless been
taken by Mr.. Jandorf as designed to
effect both purposes by the same
people. Mr.. Chambers appeared to
regard the mistake us a natural one
such as anybody might make.
The chair submitted the draft of Il
constitution, which was read, first as a
whole, second by sections. During
the latter reading several amendm ents

correspondent of the Cumberland

injustice was done him in the matter,
and Mr.. Phillips, an excellent witness,
comedies with him. More than this,
Mr.. Winters character as q thorough
going, conscientious man, lends great
strength to the belief that he has done
all the means allowed him would
possibly permit. Mr.. Phillips clinehes
the nail by affirming that the road
itself shows that it has been honestly
dealt with.

from Canton to Cleveland? A Canton
dispatch quotes you as stating that they

twinkle In his eye, I'VE admire your
lake breezes and prefer to have our
shops here. One of our directors owns
Ave acres Of land along the line of tne
road, and within the limits Of the city,
and he tfers to give us all the ground
we need for the shops free, because of
the Increased value 1t will give the re.
mainder OF his property. The shops
will be built at once and will cost about

And the general Offlces?"
They too will be brought to CleVe-
land. 1t will be much more convenient
to have everything at this end of the
line"
The statements attributed to President
Blood In the above interview are directly
opposite to what Mr.. Blood said to o
DEMOCRAT reporter Wednesday. Mr..
Blood said the changing Of the road to
standard gauge would require larger
shops, and ground room adjoining their
shods was needed. Directly opposite
their present shops in this city lies q
three acre tract of land which Mr.. Blood
wants Canton to donate to the road. If
the city does this, he said the company
would erect brick shops thereon, and
use the ground occupied by the present
shops for track room.
CSntOn is the natural location for the
headquarters Of the road, situated as
this city is, at the point where the three
branches-CleVelsnd, SherrOdsvllle and
CoshoctOn-Of the road, converge. 1t Is
not likely that either the shops or gen.
eral offices will be removed from here.
